Mom was a very beautiful lady inside and out. And it was very sad to see her have to suffer through something that she shouldn’t have. But she was the strongest lady that I ever knew and I’m grateful that she had her for a mother because she shown me not to quit or give up but to keep going no matter what the circumstances are. And I hope she knows how much she meant to me.
Mom was a very beautiful lady inside and out. I’m almost 47 years old and I have never heard anyone say anything negative about her and these days especially I’m sure not many people can say that. She was absolutely the strongest woman I knew and she and my dad both taught me not to be a quitter. So it was very sad to watch her suffer through an illness that I don’t think she deserved. But I am thankful that I was able to be there to spend time with her and help with her with what I was able to do.
